Art: Ella and Self Portrait Drawings


Learner: Jai
Date: 3 May, 2017
Learning Area: iExperience (Visual Arts)
Level 2: UC, PK, DI and CI
Learning Coach: P.L
Learning Observed
During iExperience learners had the opportunity to choose what activity they would like to participate in, based around Art. Ella chose to learn more about self portrait drawings. She had to listen carefully to instructions as they were given step by step. Ella showed her capability by following explicit instructions and looking carefully at her drawing and making sure that what she saw in the mirror matched what she had on her paper. Ella was very particular about the detail included in her drawings. Ella was collaborative by working well with others around her and helping others who needed it. She showed connectedness by looking at other examples that were shared on the screen and use it to help further his learning. She also voiced that she had done self portrait drawings last year.

We Built this City!


Learner:  Ella       Learning Coach: Luisa Maloni    Date: 23rd  April, 2015
Learning Area: iExplore: We Built This City
Learning Observed
Due to the high interest in building structures out of the magnetic shapes, we have embarked upon an iExplore learning adventure designing and constructing a city out of cardboard. I observed that Ella used the cardboard and cardboard boxes thoughtfully and arranged them a number of ways - trying out ideas to suit her design.

Ella is able to try out a number of ideas for her building.
Key Competencies/Vision Principles
Ella shows Curiosity and creativity as she explores the materials she will use for her building (Thinking). She demonstrates her Capabilities in remaining focussed and thoughtful in working towards a goal (Managing Self).
Next Learning Steps

  • Develop her ideas about the purpose of structures as she designs and constructs her building. Can she describe her building using new or appropriate topic vocabulary? E.g. factory, apartment, skyscraper, offices etc...Can she show how her design includes modifications to suit the purpose of her building? E.g. one large space and a kitchen/storage area for a restaurant
  • Discuss her ideas with peers and adults
